Hi guys, I need an unbiased opinion here. I’ve an aero size 36 cafe racer and want to know if it fits me or is too small. I only plan to wear it with a t shirt underneath, unzipped.

Thanks in advance!

@Pchen2145 I think it looks good in the shoulders, back, chest, and hem - the only spot that could stand to be a bit longer is the sleeve length.

That said, I wear my J-100 almost this exact same way and would prefer to have sleeves slightly on the shorter side than anything too long.

I think it looks super nice! Enjoy.

If you plan to wear it with only tshirt underneath, why do your fit pics only show a sweater underneath?

Generally though, when you’re at a smaller size like 34-36, it’s hard to be picky because you’re really skinny. But if I’m picky, sleeve is 3 cm too short. The length is also a bit short, like at least 2-3 cm short. The hem/waist is a bit too wide, you could have it taken in more.

To my eyes, this looks like one full size too small.

It looks so tight that I doubt it’s comfortable. Sleeves are meant to end slightly above the first knuckle of the thumb (so wrists are covered when lifting the arms).
The zipper ought to start at the hem of the jeans to prevent windchill (not at the navel).

One or maybe even two sizes too small. Looks like you borrowed your girlfriends clothes.
It is too short, sleeves are short, it is too tight. Return it if you can, get something in your size.
I concur

Great opinions guys! After seeing some of these images and hearing back from you all I think it probably is indeed a little too small. I need to size up in the shoulders, chest, and length.

Thanks for the honest feedback. That jacket is beautiful @Carlos840 !
